Selected Oil Paintings

art: the study and creation of beauty.

I have great love for art, nearly all art, a seemingly restless spirit that from time to time nurtures itself by learning every facet available about a given medium. Thus, over the 40-plus years I have been formally creating, I have explored in depth, many beautiful mediums: watercolor, oil, acrylic, pastel, colored pencil, charcoal, graphite, conte, mixed media, silverpoint to name a few. I have studied the elegance of form and the magic luminescence of light, receding, advancing, reflecting, slivers of light.... the mystery of shadows, the drama of chiaroscuro and the tragic beauty of Kintsugi. The good fortune has been mine to work successfully in many genres including landscapes, florals, portraiture, still life and abstraction.
